Rock On Love - Ken Boothe

Advantages: A Great album for the collection
Disadvantages: It would mean more to me, personally, if it was on vinyl

...Although only now, being 17 years of age, this album is sure to be the album of my life. Mr. Rocksteady is the epitome of a mood setter for a night out, and without a doubt this man has got soul. This album is compiled of hit after hit of rocksteady renditions of songs such as "Puppet on a String" and "I dont want to see you cry". Such sing a long tunes make you want to put this album on repeat from morning until night, and until someone else puts as much into an album as Ken Boothe has with Mr. Rocksteady, then this will continue to play from my stereo. If soul and movement and rocking steady is what you're looking for, then this is sure to be a great album to your collection.... Read review

...Of all the music in all the world you’ve just got to love rock/rock ‘n roll. I mean its got everything you need and its everywhere, it makes you feel good, its got power, and it can really help you to work out your anger. I love a lot of music, but there’s one band in particular I love almost as much as the Beatles and what’s more most people I know also like their music, the music of Queen. I only started to take an interest in the band after Freddie Mercury had died, not that I didn’t know about them before hand, I mean I knew some of their songs if I didn’t actually know that they were theirs. Once I did start to take an interest I found that my friends liked them too, and I find that a lot of people do, and a lot of them are people I wouldn’t expect to. These days I have pretty much all their albums, videos, and some of their... Read review
